"At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough, and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey."

"There is no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading , and kids who are reading the wrong books."
-James Patterson |
When he was three months old, Moses was hidden in a basket set afloat in the Nile to escape Pharaoh's decree that all male Hebrew children be drowned; he was retrieved from the river by Pharaoh's daughter who raised him in the palace. At age 20, Moses fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian he saw beating a Jew and made his way to Midian, where he married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, and fathered two sons, Gershom and Eliezer.
When he was 80 years old, Moses was shepherding his father-in-law's sheep when God revealed himself to him in a burning bush at Mount Horeb and instructed him to liberate the Children of Israel. Moses took the Israelites out of Egypt, performed numerous miracles for them received the Torah from God and taught it to the people, built the Mishkan in the desert, and led the Children of Israel for 40 years as they journeyed through the wilderness; but God did not allow him to bring them into the Holy Land. Moses passed away on his 120th birthday on Mount Nebo, within sight of the land he yearned to enter.
